nocturnal animals
All nocturnal animals have large eyes. The eye of an owl helps it see better in the dark
Humans cannot see in dark night but nocturnal animals can see.
All species of tarsier are nocturnal, but do occasional come out during the day.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to know WHEN nocturnal animals are active. In response, they are active during the night, when it is dark outside.
It depends on what type of animal it is. If it is nocturnal it will love the dark. An example for a nocturnal animal is an owl. It sleeps during the day and hunts and stays up during the night. That is how nocturnal animals are described. But if you compare a cat with an owl in this situation, an owl likes the dark more than the cat. =)
Nocturnal means when an animal is awake during the night while the Diurnal animals (awake during the day) are asleep. Yes, nocturnal animals do see in the dark because of their special pupils. Hope I helped! (:
Elephants are not nocturnal because nocturnal animals only come out in the dark but elephants are usually awake the whole day and some of the night.
The vibrissae or whiskers of a nocturnal animal don't need to adapt quickly. They work fine the way they are, helping nocturnal animals navigate and find food in the dark, so there is little need for them to adapt.
Rabbits have good night vision, but they are not as adept in the dark as some other nocturnal animals like owls or cats.
Possums have big eyes because they are nocturnal and it helps them see in the dark.
Nocturnal vision refers to the ability of certain animals, like owls and cats, to see in low light conditions or darkness. These animals have specialized adaptations in their eyes that allow them to see better in the dark compared to humans.
